Applications are open from now until 2 November to represent the Open University (OU) on the next series of University Challenge.
Unsure if the experience is right for you?
Whether you enjoy the occasional pub quiz, you’re into online quizzing, or you’re passionate about a particular subject, this could be the opportunity for you.
For Karie, previous team captain (and self-confessed quizzing amateur), applying for University Challenge started as a bucket-list item to tick off. Then, she became team captain and took the OU all the way to the quarterfinals on TV!
She says: “You don’t need to know everything, just have basic general knowledge and be enthusiastic about your topic, and then rely on the rest of your teammates!”
What happens next?
- After you submit your application, all eligible applicants will be sent a general knowledge and specialist-subject knowledge quiz to complete.
- Then, if successful, you’ll take part in an online audition with fellow applicants before the final team is selected!
